Client Comments

Jeff Green was fantastic, very accommodating and had our audience in stiches. Specialised Textiles Association

Jeff was fabulous to work with. He was accommodating, friendly and got along very well with our members and staff. His performance was funny and engaging. My only constructive comment would be to perhaps do a little research on the company and the audience in the room after the pre event brief. In the past comedians that we have secured through Saxton have taken the opportunity to make some jokes that are relevant either to the organisation or the people in the room which has always gone down well. While Jeff did tell jokes that were age appropriate for the audience and read the crowd extremely well, a couple more "personalised' or "catered" bits would have tied it all together nicely.Australian Institute of Company Directors

Without Change There Would Be No Butterflies: A guide to embracing change

Jeff Green is passionate about change, and he knows a thing or two about it.

After commencing his working life as a chemical engineer, Jeff about-faced into a stellar career as a stand-up comedian. In the process he became a household name on UK TV and radio and starred in festivals and tours across the globe. He then gave it all up to move to Australia and start all over again. Why? And what key lessons about embracing change did Jeff learn along the way?

Jeff's inspirational, insightful and often hilarious story recounts his negotiation of personal and professional life-changing events. His presentation will energise your audience with his clear guide to viewing change as a potent and positive force.

'Formerly a Chemical Engineer, I left University in 1986 with an Honours Degree, a high powered job and a deep feeling that I'd made a huge mistake. 25 years later I'm a stand-up comedian with a global fan-base; sell out tours of festivals and theatres, West End seasons, three DVD releases, book sales of over 300,000 and countless TV and radio appearances. In 2005 I was a happy-go-lucky London bachelor sharing the stage and dressing rooms with the biggest names in UK comedy. I'm now a married father of two, Australian citizen who loves his new life. But how did it all happen? Well, let me tell you...' - Jeff Green

- The unique transition from successful chemical engineer to acclaimed stand-up comedian, elaborating on the important things he learned along the way: Life IS change, Fear IS natural;- How we can all learn to view change as a positive force;- Learning to recognise what we can't change: from our family, our past decisions, even the personalities of those around us, Jeff explains where we should put our focus for a more productive future;- Dealing with adversity. Overenthusiastic hecklers, booing audiences, hostile critics, Jeff has seen it all during his long career. He explains how to deal with career challenges and control our doubts; and- How to find and harness our most effective motivational triggers and identify those that hold us back from embracing change for a happier future.
